I know it was the early 1960s, but this is an awful episode of what was a popular detective series of the day.
Generally the acting is appalling and Philip Latham breaking down was embarrassing.
The wedding scene at the bar was quite mad. People running all over the place acting like children. Just awful.
I wonder how this sort of drama was received at the time. It certainly doesn't stand the test of time.
The worst aspect was the way the condemned man at the beginning was simply forgotten. He was due to be executed the following morning but after hinting at an historical crime which Maigret went on to solve, he was never mentioned again.
